Soil Fertility and Nutrient management (1+1)

INTEGRATED PLANT NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT

INTEGRATED PLANT NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (IPNMS)

Definition
IPNM is the intelligent and combined use of inorganic, organic and biological resources so as to sustain optimum yields, improve or maintain the soil chemical and physical properties and provide crop nutrition packages which are technically sound, economically attractive, practically feasible and environmentally safe. The principal aim of the integrated approach is to utilize all the possible sources of plant nutrition in a judicious and efficient manner.

Concept of IPNMS
The basic concept of IPNMS is the promotion and maintenance of soil fertility for sustaining crop productivity through optimum use of all possible sources of nutrients like organic, inorganic and biological in an integrated manner appropriate to each farming situation. Improvement of soil fertility and productivity on sustainable basis through appropriate use of fertilizers and organic manures is the key principle and their scientific management for optimum growth and yield of crops in a specific agro ecological conditions.
